The lobby is quite modern and has an Oriental-style elegance that well compliments a similar but different lobby and entrance of the adjoining, somewhat newer building on the same block, a rather unusual example of contextual design.

This building, which has several terraces, was erected in 1958 and converted to a cooperative three years later. It has 75 apartments and an excellent Upper East Side location that is one block from an express subway station at Lexington Avenue. Cross-town buses run frequently on 86th Street and two supermarkets are nearby on Madison Avenue as well as many boutiques. Central Park, of course, is just two blocks away.

The neighborhood is highly desirable because of its many landmark buildings, major museums, excellent schools and religious buildings and convenient shopping.
